I want to be a character in a story.
Not the main character, as I don't want to be notable,
or even be given written actions or words.
To be someone part of the scenery,
In the background,
Who may as well, not exist at all.
I want to exist from day to month,
From hour to minute.
Only, without knowing what that means.
Without knowing what it means
To exist from a time to a time.
I want to experience only the good and only the bad.
There would be no gray area.
My story would not contain
"He woke up, walked three steps to the door, and made a sandwich."
Only, "he fell in love.
he avoided being run over by mere inches,
he, on the beach, bathed in the smooth rays of the sun on a hot glorious summer day."
There would be no boring, pointless, gray area.
These words would be written by the hand of another
Existing only in the imagination of the reader.
I would not even be in the words,
But only the imagery in the mind.
This is my wish, all my hopes and dreams.
To exist in fiction and remain unseen.
What is freedom?
What is sentience,
But the awareness of how to be unhappy.
